Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 1988

Lucian turned around and went over to his three children before kneeling down to examine Archie's and Benny's injuries.

“Are you okay? Does it hurt? Tell me the truth.” The look in Lucian's eyes turned tender as he tousled his sons' hair affectionately before giving Estella a hug.

Archie and Benny exchanged a glance and nodded. “Daddy, it hurts a little!”

“I see.” Lucian smiled before asking, “Then how do you feel? Do you feel angry?”

Benny quickly answered, “Yes! I'm infuriated!”

Archie nodded in agreement, for they were indeed furious.

Pouting, Estella chimed in, “Daddy, I'm really mad too. I hate them for bullying Archie and Benny!”

Lucian acknowledged the children's feelings, and instead of comforting them, he asked in a solemn tone, “Then what would you like to do so you would feel better?”

The three children exchanged glances, unsure how to react.

Roxanne was touched upon seeing that. She understood what her husband was trying to achieve by guiding the children to express their feelings and intentions.

Growing up, the three little ones lacked paternal and maternal love respectively, but they had always been well-protected.

Hence, it was always the adults who handled the situation for them whenever something bad befell them. They never had the chance to make their own decisions.

Meanwhile, the other four children and their parents dared not make a sound. Dave, on the other hand, glared at his son furiously.

He was aware that he would be the one who had the worst of today's incident.

After a long while, Archie nodded while wearing a determined look. “Daddy, I think I know what I want!”

Following that, Benny added, “Me too. I'm really mad. What right do they have to bully us? I won't just let this slide without putting up a fight!”

Blinking, Estella turned to Roxanne and said, “Mommy, I hate them! I don't ever want to see them again!”
